Serene Silhouettes Sympathy Collage

Needing a sympathy card, I remembered seeing Heather Telford's gorgeous "Analagous Collage" card on her "Bits & Pieces" blog the other day and used it as inspiration for this card.

Originally this was a one layer card, but when I stamped the sentiment inside the card, part of it didn't show up because somehow the center of the stamp got warped. So, I cut off the front and matted it to a piece of Stampin' Up Midnight Muse cardstock for the base of the card. I restamped the sentiment on a new piece of white cardstock by putting extra pressure on the center of the stamp and then attached that to the inside of the card. The sentiment inside is an old Inky Antics stamp I've had for years. It says, " May your memories bring you comfort and keep your loved one close in heart ."

Materials used are:
Stamps:
Serene Silhouettes by Stampin' Up
Musical Background by River City Rubber Works
Scroll With Deepest Sympathy by Northwoods Rubber Stamps

About Me

My stamping studio is located at the north end of the Mackinac Bridge, which spans the Straits of Mackinac, joining Michigan's Upper and Lower Peninsulas. It is an area rich in scenic vistas where the waters of the Great Lakes Michigan and Huron join together. Behind the Scenes refers to my preference for scenic stamping. I enjoy the challenge of putting stamps together to create a scene or tell a story.
